Hack the Gap 2017: Happy Head

As part of Hack the Gap 2017, more than 100 women came together Jan. 14 and 15 in Minneapolis to pitch coding ideas and work in teams to bring them to life. Five finalist teams demoed their creations in Target Plaza Commons on Jan. 15 to compete for first-, second- and third-place prizes.

Happy Head created a mouthguard that can detect when an athlete may have sustained a head trauma. The technology connects to an app that parents and coaches could use to monitor the athlete for possible concussions.
